Pinky, let's assume there is the LORD GOD that Brian and some other people who call themselves Christians imagine.

What did it mean to Him to tell His followers to go and utterly destroy infants and sucklings in the olden days of biblical yore?

The LORD GOD would have known that knives got dull: that, after slashing through the skin, muscles, bones and sinew of infants, after ripping babies away from their dead mother's tit, that picking them up and crushing their heads on the hard stone would have become his followers' preferred way of murder.

The LORD GOD had not inspired man to invent easier and, therefore, more pleasant ways of killing yet. There were no triggers to pull from a safe distance, no buttons to push that sent rockets to do who cares what.

The LORD GOD would have known that infants would try to escape and run away. He would have been aware that infants were to spend horrific moments knowing that bad people with dull knives and their sisters and brothers infant and baby blood covering them, would get tired of sawing skin and muscle that would spill more dying infant blood all over them.

The LORD GOD would know that, before the infants died, they would see other infants picked up and would have seen other little heads smashed against hard stone walls before their eventual demise.

The LORD GOD would have known, threw the eyes of infants, the abject terror in His demands to his followers. The LORD GOD would have known that the blood of babies who, moments before, were gently and cozily snuggled with their mothers, would cover their followers and change them forever.

Today, when modern man sees other human beings cutting and hacking away at infants, they put them away in jail for the rest of their lives.

They do not balance the good that they may have done in their lives against a SINGLE act of infanticide. They would not care if their excuse was that the LORD GOD told them to do it.

Ripping the heads off babies, causing infants who are one moment happily playing games and the next moment are nothing but blood and torn up skin, muscles and excrement, is today, tomorrow AND YESTERDAY an intolerable horror.

Believers in the positive influence of the LORD GOD must either deny that He inspired infanticide or consider themselves guilty through association.
